I know what lurks beneath
The rippling muscles and silky hair,
I know what’s underneath
The sultry eyes and the way they stare.
He said I was too sweet,
Too trusting and too prim,
But at least I have a heart that beats
And I can’t say that for him.

Having a heart is a strength, not a weakness. Don’t let this world tell you differently.
Lovely <3
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😀

Nice twist! Definitely makes me want to know more about ‘him.’
Maybe you can write a little something that tells me more about him then? 😉
Bygosh, I think I might! 😛
Awesome! Looking forward to it 😀

Thank you! Glad to hear it ^_^
[…] response to Jade Wong’s poem, A Heart. Check it […]
“I can’t say that for him” actually a very chilling line. He sounds like the perfect guy but she sees deeper and knows unlike her, he doesn’t have a heart — hence is looks are null. I think she feels a bit of anger here, where I get th ‘chills’ from. As if his cold or nonexistent heart has hurt her very much.
You have a keen eye Mandi! You read between the lines beautifully and really picked on all the little messages I wanted to send. Thank you! 😀
You’re welcome. I like those little messages, you do wonderful with them 🙂
Wowza, this was amazing Jade. I loved that it was rhyming and I was not expecting that ending. <3 <3
